Hello, July, my scorching friend. It's been a "normal" summer so far, but it looks things are getting ready to heat up in the ATX area, at least. Worst of all, after being drenched all spring, we're falling behind on rain accumulations again. We got a funky storm Tuesday night, but we managed just a measly .33" for so much wind, lightning, and thunder.
After tonight, there'll be just three more SNOTs before Rookie Training Camp starts on July 25. The veterans join in on the fun on July 30, and then the first pre-season game On August 14, your Houston Texans play at San Francisco in a prime time Sunday evening match-up.
To summarize: the foosballs, they are almost back.
In that spirit, welcome to tonight's Saturday Night Open Thread, where we'll battlefight together to make it to the season that's coming so nigh.
Normal open thread rules are in place, so please be kind to each other.
